Alexis and his actress girlfriend went public with their romance during a holiday in the Turks and Caicos Islands last July.

Mayte, who met her footballer boyfriend at a BBQ, is said to be planning to join Alexis on a full-time basis in Manchester when she finishes filming a late-night Chilean soap she is currently working on.

She opened up about her feelings for him in a gushing interview last month with the Chilean version of glossy magazine Hola.

“Today I’m sharing my life with a marvellous person,” she said.

Alexis uploaded a photo to his Instagram account at Christmas with his girlfriend, nephews and niece during a lightning trip back to Chile between matches which he captioned: “Family.”

The footballer showed he was a Celine Dion fan in February 2016 by updating a video showing him playing her hit song “My Heart Will Go On” on his piano.

His romantic video gift to Mayte had already received nearly 300,000 likes.
